Sony Ericsson W890i

 

The Sony Ericsson W890i is the latest in a long line of excellent phones handsets from Sony Ericsson bearing the Walkman branding. The natural successor to the W880i, the W890i keeps a similar slim style design whilst improving on certain aspects and including a strong array of features.

 

The first thing you notice about the W890i on Orange is how slim it is. It really does look like a standard MP3 player, slim, light and pocketable. The keys on the W890i are slightly larger than those on the W880i, and are therefore less difficult to get on with. The screen on the phone is a nice, bright, QVGA offering supporting up to 262,000 colours.

 

The Walkman music player is simple and straight forward to use. All music stored on the phone can be searched via album, artists or genres. You can create your own playlists, plus the new SensMe feature lets you create playlists based on your mood. Along with the music players the W890i also has an FM radio tuner. Listen to your favourite station on the move, and if you happen to hear a song you really like, you can identify the artist and track with the excellent TrackID option. Once you’ve tagged the track you can download the track to your phone to play back on the Walkman player.

 

Bluetooth 2.0 is supported on the Sony Ericsson W890i. This allows you to listen to music with a compatible Bluetooth headset. The W890i is a 3G phone, with also EDGE, HSCSD, GPRS and HSDPA super fast broadband.
